Okay hostel - great location

I'll start with the good things: the location was amazing for the price, just around the corner from the historical district. The communal bathrooms and showers were pretty clean, and overall the room was pretty clean too. There was water leaking outside of the rooms but that didn't bother me much. The price was very cheap so I didn't expect much, but the bed was basically a wooden plank (there was a mattress, but it was so thin and the middle had caved in, so most of the bed was a wooden plank). It was quite hard to sleep. The (included) breakfast wasn't amazing, but I guess I shouldn't expect much. If the bed hadn't been void of padding, I would give this hostel a solid 4 stars, but that was pretty bad so I'm giving 3 stars.

For a western traveller, this place is so great. Washing machine in room really helps travellers. The bath is big and beds are comfortable and the bar downstairs is great place for a drink. So quiet too. No cars in this part of town!

I really tried to enjoy my stay at this place, but a few negatives has left a bitter taste to my mouth during our stay. The staff at the check-in were too "cool" to be true, as they just did the procedure like robots without any kind of warm greetings, which to me is a big no no as Japanese are renowned for their hospitality excellence (omotenashi). The girl who showed us to our room was also the "cool" type of person who did not speak a word to us and just like a robot. Having said that the staff at the breakfast bar and checking-out the next morning were much better as they greet us with smile and provided much better service. The cleanness of the room we stayed in were a big negative as I can see dust all over the furniture throughout the room. Dusts were covering the air conditioner, door frames, lamps, and window sills. This again was shocking to us as we've stayed in many Japanese hotels/hostels the cleanness is always a number one priority and we never could find any room that was dirty. But this room changes everything and we were truly disappointed and dumbfumded that why the room was not kept clean to a certain standard. All in all I think this place is nice and trendy, with some good designs throughout the interior. However based on my experience I would not recommend this place to my friends and family as I would always rate cleanness and service over the look and feel of a place. Please improve as I think this place has a lot of potential to be great.

早餐的麵包真的有夠好吃，很開心麵包是可以一直續的，因為真的不錯吃。 整體住宿部分，就是青旅，沒有特別好也沒有特別不好。 如果剛好來生理期的話，記得帶個小袋子進去洗澡間，因為他們洗澡間是沒有設置垃圾桶的（聽聞是日本文化的關係）

掛け時計は欲しかった

客室にない物 掛け時計　テレビ 客室にあるもの 電子レンジ　ウォーターサーバー 洗濯機　キッチン 共同利用でも良いモノが客室内にある。便利と言えば便利だが。。。 テレビが無いまでは理解出来るが時計が無い部屋に泊まるのは初めてでした。 冷蔵庫が古いのかどうかわかりませんが、インバータの音が大きく眠りづらい、せっかく美観地区にアクセスしやすい立地なのに残念です。 改善があればまた利用したいです。

倉敷で週末にしては高くないけれども

シャワーとトイレが共同で、同じフロアにあったのはいいとして、一旦客室から外に出ることになるので、格好を気にする必要がある。特に2階の女性専用シャワー室の前にフリースペースがあり、そこは男女兼用なので、シャワー室を出た途端にそこでお茶を飲んでいた男性と目があって気まずかった。1階から上は天井が吹き抜けになっていてコの字型に客室が配置されている。冬なので天井が閉じられているが、一歩客室を出たらかなり寒さを感じるので、もっと寒くなったら湯冷めする可能性あり。
